Baltimore Orioles DFS SPIN
Adley Rutschman collected two hits and an RBI in Wednesday’s loss to the Blue Jays. Rutschman led off against left-hander Yusei Kikuchi and collected two singles off of him, driving in Baltimore’s lone run in the fifth inning. The talented catcher is hitting .273/.373/.426 on the season with 49 RBI. His plate discipline remains tremendous, and he figures to grow into more power, which makes him a good bet to be one of the better catchers in fantasy for a while.
Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
Erik Swanson slammed the door on the Orioles for a save during a 4-1 win on Wednesday. With Jordan Romano on the IL with a back injury, it was Swanson who got the save opportunity on Wednesday. The right-hander delivered, allowing one hit but striking out two to secure his third save of the season and lower his ERA to 3.44. New addition Jordan Hicks pitched the eighth inning but did face Baltimore’s 2-3-4 hitters, so it’s possible that Toronto will use Hicks as a high leverage reliever with Romano out, which could leave more save opportunities for Swanson or Yimi Garcia.
